Prerna envisions a strong and prosperous INDIA. We want to see our
country to regain its pristine glory and be the topmost country in the world
in terms of development, prosperity, social security, education,
cleanliness, games etc. We aim to work on aspects related to nation building
in a sustainable and meaningful way.

We have chosen primary education improvement as the first step. We
have adopted 16 primary schools in Kanpur and are developing them into model
schools comparable to good private schools in terms of infrastructure, education quality, extra curricular activities etc. We are working on a low
cost model which harnesses the already existing vast infrastructure of the
government schools ( 432 such schools exist in Kanpur itself ). We don’t
donate , rather we manage the schools with a full fledged team of seven
directors, three co-ordinators and 16 teachers.

Prerna installed two swings (one slide and one " Sawan Jhule- double seat " at Sisamau Primary School. The chief guest and sponsor Mr. R.C.Gupta encouraged the children to study hard. A cultural program was prsented by the enthusiastic children.

PRERNA in joint effort with CUGL has donated computers with TFT monitors, UPS and multimedia system to 12 government primary schools, as a furtherance of its objective to start E-classes through animated software in all government schools of Kanpur. We are thankful to Grassroots for providing us the animation software that has inbuilt classwise daywise routines to be used by the teachers. The graphic animated ( cartoons ) way of teaching attracts childrens attention and produces wonderful results.

we found an old man lying on the bench in a bus stop, covered with a blanket. he had been lying there since two days. he was sick and really needed help. we wanted to help him but could not decide how to start, as there are so many legal issues, what if something happens to him as you try to help out a person in such a dilapidated condition. we fed the old man and he recovered slightly, he was crying as he had nowhere to go. the next challenge was what now ?? someone told us to call 108, the up government ambulance service. we got connected to a call centre, which in no time located the nearest ambulance and we carried him to ursala and got him admitted there for treatment. he is being taken care of by us since then and we hope that as soon as he recovers medically we will be able to admit him to an old age home

The meeting started with getting formal feedback for improvement and suggestions from all prerna teachers. then there was a test based on sarv shiksha abhiyan syllabus and general awareness. lastly a brain storming session about how to give more to the children studying in our schools. two teachers also volunteered to start vocational training in their schools after school hours for nearly girls ( beutician, pickle making, embroidery etc )

after a long time state government has decided to restart the closed municipal hospitals in kanpur which are in dilapitated condition. when the CMO of kanpur municipal corporation approached PRERNA for support we were more than happy to donate these machines for treatment of poor patients at nominal cost.

a dance competition was organized in co-ordination with ROTARY CLUB bhramavarta. The children enjoyed every fun filled moment, those who took part as well as those who witnessed the performance of their friends. special courtesy - mr atul agarwal ( member PRERNA and secy - rotary club )

Mr Gaurav Singh, founder of GRASSROOTS infosolutions trained the Prerna Teachers team on how to use their software for conducting e classes in primary schools. He pointed out that visual animated graphics is a useful tool to gain the attention of the children and also makes them grasp things faster

We had a very nice time interacting with the children and they also enjoyed watching the movie, participating in the poem competition ( junior classes ) and the Quiz ( class 4 and 5 ), playing the dart game, showing stunts on the swings etc.

for the first time in the history of kanpur,children from the 15 government schools adopted by prerna got an opportunity to perform on a large stage like merchants chamber with lights and sound. the children performed with undeterred confidence even though it was their fist time, before an audience of 300 elite including mr rp kushwaha (vidhayak ), the DM kanpur Mr hariom, the BSA and many other dignitaries.

We also played tug-of-war in which all the children participated. This was followed by planting of 35 trees in the school.
